Hello there tom's hardware community!
I am about to purchase a new system. Almost from scratch. Would you guys be so kind and take a look at the build below, please?
What i do NOT need is the following: speakers, mouse, keyboard, monitor (got a 23" samsung 1920 x 1080), optical
Date of purchase:
2 weeks' time maximum. (at komplett.ie for some parts I'd have to wait over a month even which is too long for me.)
The build is i7-920 based. I would rather go for INTEL when it comes to CPU.
I am planning to buy from Komplett.ie (am in Ireland - all prices in EURO, btw if anyone has any better Irish online store with components then I'd appreciate a tip )
Purpose: I want to buy a system that will be quite future-proof. The main purpose is work + some rest. By "work" I mean a system that will not choke after 5 hours of constant web surfing (10~20sites open simultaneously) analytics software, office apps, photoshop, video production (nothing fancy) plus minors like IM's, music players etc etc. By rest I mean having possibility to play some new games so that I can chill out and not worry "if the computer is going to handle it".
Cash - max i can afford is = ~1250 EURO;
MOBO:
ASUS P6T, X58, Socket-1366 - EUR 205.55
CPU:
Intel Core™ i7 Quad Processor i7-920 - EUR 245.00
CPU COOLER:
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU Cooler - EUR 25.00
GPU:
Sapphire Radeon HD 5850 1GB GDDR5 - EUR 345.00
RAM:
Corsair Dominator DHX+ DDR3 1600MHz 6GB - EUR 195.00
HDD:
Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB SATA2 - EUR 77.00
PSU:
Corsair TX 650W PSU - EUR 82.00
CASE:
Antec Three Hundred Midi Tower Black - EUR 53.00
TOTAL PRICE: EUR ~1250 EURO
I would be very keen on this build, (thinking of getting second GPU in 1-2 months' time so yes, Crossfire should be considered). The only thing that bothers me is, if there might be any compatibility issue in the set above, or some part is known to have some issues. All suggestions are welcome!
Thank you in advance!
